A waste of a perfectly good explanation.
I wanted a newer car, so I rolled my existing auto loan into the newer vehicles loan. So easy right?
I was upside down on it for years and years. It’s so disheartening to drive a vehicle that’s falling apart and stranding you everywhere but still owe $10k on it. It was an awful decision that took years of pain but that was my lesson on buying things I can afford.
Fallout 4.
I started Fallout 4, instantly loved it, and got the initial few quests done and made my way into the open world. There were also side quests asking for help and stuff though. I thought to myself - let’s knock out the small stuff so I can get the hang of this.
400 hours later I was basically fighting deathclaws with a high XP character and had barely completed past diamond City I think.
I didn’t realize the side quests never stop and I’m an idiot but I was having fun anyway. I eventually looked up why I had to do so many and realized my issue. Finished the game shortly after because I had a maxed out character basically for beginner missions.
I tried FF the other day instead of Vivaldi and I was like, no scroll wheel to switch tabs? No quick commands? No workspaces? Ugh I am prepared to keep using a chromium engine rather than give up all the “power user” features. It’s just sooo good.
Been using gestures for so long I constantly catch myself using them in other apps where it doesn’t work and getting frustrated at myself.
I enjoyed Babylon but it’s not something I revisit often. I feel the same way as you about Battlestar though. I watch it and my mind drifts away mid episode. I want to love it, I think it’s a great story but something about the show keeps me from engaging fully. Makes me sad.
“straight up down” made me laugh.
Same for me, thought it was buggy at first but no, lemmy.world is struggling. Luckily I have another instance I use too, excited for that"coming feature" listed in sync ultra to copy subscriptions between accounts!
I actually read about 50% of it, but something about the writing style was not working for me and I was focused more on how it was written than what was written. Stopped reading it. I actually like the movie and wanted the details only a book can provide.
Anyway maybe not relevant to you but if I don’t like it, I don’t read it. Too many other things to enjoy rather than trudging through something I don’t.
